2021 Skoda Octavia SE L First ED TDI S-A 2.0L Diesel · DC70 SRV

The Skoda Octavia passed its most recent MOT on 8 April 2026 at 72,737 miles with no defects recorded. The maintenance trend is stable. Three consecutive annual tests from April 2024 through April 2026 each returned a clean pass with zero advisories, showing the vehicle has remained roadworthy without escalating faults. The recorded mileage rose from 47,670 in the 26 April 2024 test to 60,454 on 23 April 2025, then to 72,737 by 8 April 2026. That equates to roughly 12,800 miles per year across the recorded period, slightly below the 14,547 miles per year implied by the age. The history shows no gaps between tests and no sudden accumulation spikes. The clean sheet across all entries means the DVSA data gives no evidence of skipped consumable replacement or deferred mechanical work. A buyer should still commission an independent inspection of suspension bushes, coil springs, brake discs and calipers, given the car is now five years old with over 72,000 miles. The MOT record flags none of these, but the absence of advisories does not confirm component condition beyond the test date. Check for early structural corrosion on subframes and sills, and verify the timing belt interval against Skoda's schedule. The high annual mileage suggests motorway use rather than short urban trips, which generally limits cold-start wear but accelerates drivetrain and tyre consumption.
